Combining the rich flavor of chocolate with the nutritional benefits of protein powder, this protein mousse recipe is a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth!

With Mother’s Day coming up, protein mousse is a tasty chocolate dessert that will soon become a staple in the house. And what better way to show your appreciation than whipping up a delicious and healthy treat that moms can indulge in guilt-free?

Ingredients You’ll Need

You’ll want to use fresh egg whites that have been separated from the yolks as they work the best in the protein chocolate mousse recipe.

Egg whites

Vegan protein powder

This chocolate protein mousse was made with Naked Nutrition’s Rice Protein Powder which is what helps give this mousse not only its protein intake but also its light, fluffy texture.

Vanilla extract

The better quality of your vanilla extract the more flavorful it will be in the mousse. That’s why I try my best to use pure vanilla extract and not artificial.

Cacao powder

This gives the protein powder mousse its rich chocolate flavor but also a burst of nutrients. Learn more about the difference between cacao powder and cocoa powder and know that by choosing cacao you’re getting more calcium, antioxidants, and flavor.

Mini chocolate chips

To keep this mousse recipe paleo, I use enjoy life chocolate chips. However, regular chocolate chips should work. With mini chocolate chips you get a bigger bang for your buck so opt for mini.

Full fat coconut milk

Tthis is what replaces the cream from traditional mousse. Make sure to use full fat coconut milk or your mousse will come out thin and more pudding-like.

1. In a small pot, heat the coconut milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract over very low heat. 2. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric handheld mixer for two full minutes until they’re foamy. 3. Once the chocolate chips are melted, use the handheld mixer to mix in the protein powder and cacao powder to the coconut milk mixture.
